LONG BIO
Amy S. Kaufman is the author of The Traitor of Sherwood Forest, a Robin Hood retelling forthcoming from Penguin Books in 2025. She has always been interested in old stories. Obsessed with Arthurian legend and Robin Hood as a kid in Florida, she eventually went on to earn her PhD in literature from Northeastern University—after brief stints as a receptionist, a bookkeeper, and a freelance editor. Amy’s scholarship focuses on medieval women, myths, legends, and the way the modern world sees the Middle Ages. She is co-author of The Devil’s Historians: How Modern Extremists Abuse the Medieval Past (University of Toronto Press, 2020) and has written about the medieval world for both scholarly journals and popular venues, including The Washington Post.
Amy taught ancient and medieval literature at Wesleyan College and Middle Tennessee State University, but left academia after receiving tenure to move out to the west coast and write some stories of her own. Now she lives in Vancouver, Canada, where she can’t stop taking pictures of the mountains. The Traitor of Sherwood Forest is her debut novel.
